In this week’s top stories: More hands-on time with the MacBook Pro, we show you Apple’s special tool to recover data from the device’s soldered down SSD, reports of wireless charging for iPhone 8, the best Black Friday deals, and much more.

We kick things off this week with Ben’s MacBook Pro Diary and his first impressions of the new machine. We show you Apple’s special tool that will allow repair staff to recover data from the MacBook Pro’s non-removable SSD. And we give you the rundown on the best 4K & 5K USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 displays, while Jeff shows you five other handy accessories you should consider for the new MacBook Pro.

A new report claims Apple is planning to incorporate wireless charging into an ‘all-glass’ iPhone 8 in 2017. Trump tells Tim Cook directly he wants Apple to make products in the USA. The future of Apple’s AirPort line is in question. And we go hands-on with the new TouchSwitcher app for TouchBar in this week’s top videos.
